This is a cheap item, you pretty much get what you pay for. I'll break it down for you:1. Structure: I don't think this is much worse then the Taylor made or other more known brands. The tubes are about the same, and you have to put them together, which I've never seen before. This is why it arrives in a suspiciously small box. When once you put it together, it seems sturdy. The connectors are a hard plastic, harder than the plastic you commonly see at the ends or the tubes of other brands. It remains to be seen whether they will hold up. The middle bows are held in place by FIXED connectors rather than the usual arrangement with set screws. They are fixed by rivet-like fasteners. This is a definate area of suspicion for possible failure, but who knows. When erected and mounted, this bimini feels no more or less sturdy than any of the others and it would take a trained eye to distinguish it from the others.
2. Fabric: Here is where things get dicey. This is without question thinner than the sunbrella on the other models. There is no double-stitching, nothing fancy. But it isn't as pathetic as it could be, I guess. I bought two, and one has been installed for two weeks and isn't flapping in the wind yet. I keep it up all the time, the boat (24 ft deck boat) is in the water all the time. I just installed the second though and I can't believe how far off the colors are. The original color was supposed to be blue (I guess like the Pacific Blue of sunbrella) but was really more like a royal blue with a little purple. DON'T try to match this with Pacific blue, it'll give you away instantly. In fact the first one now looks even more purple. The newer one is considerably more blue. This either means a different dye lot (har!) or they are FADING fast. I suspect that in another month, they will both be white and then all my problems will go away anyway. The boat is not much to look at anyway so I can live with this.
IN SHORT: For the ridiculously low price, these are probably worth it. It's shade, that's what I wanted. But if they were priced anywhere near the competition, say 5 or 6 hundred dollars, I wouldn't have been able to write this review since I'd still be rolling on the floor laughing. If you want a basic protection from the sun and probably won't need it for more than occasional use, this product should serve you just fine.
